We had triple digit index in Arkansas, too. I wish with all the sweating I've been doing working outside that the scale would show I've lost some weight. LOL!

Here's a little bit of health info for surviving high temperatures. Before I retired I worked for a auto glass plant in the quality department. Our office and lab were air conditioned but the plant was not. A lot of my time was spent out in the plant doing inspections or tests. With six 3000 degree furnaces you can imagine how unbearably hot it was. One day I became ill and the nurse thought I was having an heart attack so I was taken to the ER. Thankfully it was not my heart but heat stress. It hadn't gotten to the heat stroke stage.
I told you that story to tell you this. The ER doctor told me heat depletes calcium from a woman's body more than from a man's. He said for me to eat a banana everyday I was in the heat. If you have leg cramps after working outside drink your water and have a banana.

Yes, water, water, water for the leg cramps. I drink a big glass before going to bed and two glasses when I get up in the morning before I eat anything. I eat a banana everyday but also take a calcium supplement. I drink lots of water but some days I get busy and forget. I didn't remember right away when I woke with a leg cramp that it could be dehydration and then I was thinking that I hadn't had much water to drink the day before. Good advice Sara. Thanks! |

Denise plain old yellow mustard is also good for night leg cramps. I heard about it years ago from seniors at a SNAP center. If they had cramps they would take a tsp of mustard. I was having leg cramps but didn't want to take mustard in the middle of the night so I made sure I had mustard sometime during the day even if it was just on a cracker. It worked no more leg cramps that are not from dehydration. |

High of 92 today. Starting Wed we'll be in triple digits. 107 for Sat & Sun. Halfway through July so the dog days of August won't be far behind. |

Went outside to water this morning to find it rained during the night. I checked and it rained enough I don't have to water today. So thankful for the rain. We're in a drought so every drop counts. |

We got a touch of rain early this morning. Not enough, but every little bit helps. |

Normal and foggy here, but inland are hot fires with winds and so far has burned 80,000 acres and still burning. The Carr fire up by Redding. So sad. |

Yes they are and getting worse, it is such a weird fire, they have had fire tornadoes, jumping over houses, which is good but there have been 5 people killed in it so far. Hot and fast. and a fire down by Yosemite, and one going in Mendocino County.

Third day of rain for us and it's so very good. My plants are loving it. Today is a thunderstorm and I do like thunderstorms like this one that doesn't have high winds and hail. Just thundering and lightening to clear the charged air. |

Rained for a short while here - heavy when it rained but it didn't last long enough again. Like what we do get, though. |

In the 70's today. So nice to have a bit of reprieve from the heat. Back up there by mid week though. |

A beautiful 68 this morning with a possibility of more rain during the day. Did a little yard work and sat on side porch with Annie. It's going to be a good day today. |
